For example you will be able to enjoy the tour of the island as we find the best fishing spots and the boat's staff will guide you with all information about the sights and attractions that you will see in the caldera and around the island.

Moreover, the  fishing boat is comfortable and you can sunbathe and relax as you are sailing in the Aegean Sea and around the island of Santorini and there is even a cabin if you want to take a nap out of the sun. But if you do you may miss something spectacular.
